A Top-notch Attorney

• For a recent legal problem, I consulted with four attorneys; while they were all good, Ms. Smith stood out by immediately suggesting strategies to use in my case. • She kept me focused on what my case was really about, and kept me from getting side-tracked by emotions. • She is professional witho...ut being condescending; she explained legal terms and procedures simply yet completely. • Ms. Smith is kick*ss without being cutthroat! I am so impressed with her legal expertise I am now consulting with her for another legal need.

be aware

Will nickel and dime the piss out of you. Had a friend use her. Simple questions. If she or had her paralegal actually stayed in communication occasionally none of the questions would have even had to have been asked. Charges 200 per hour to respond back to emails that take less than a minute to ...respond.

"Be Aware" I am sorry that you believe someone you know had a negative experience with our law firm. We strive to maintain the highest standards of care and professionalism. As you and I have never met, I can understand that you aren't familiar with the way we treat our clients. We bill in 10ths of an hour and do not bill for time that we have not expended working for our clients. We are available by phone, email and even fax! Communication is essential to any successful legal endeavor and that's why we are in perpetual contact with our clients. Please feel free to contact our office if you'd like to discuss this further and have a pleasant day.

Divorce

Kelly was great and made the divorce process as easy and painless as possible. She was very straight forward in what to expect and didn't sugar coat anything. The fee was reasonable and I always got a return call or email same day. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
